I feel like complaining today. I feel like a giant whale or like someone put a sumo wrestling suit on me so I can't bend or really move. It reminds me of an episode of "The Office" (see below) I just watched the other night. I know that I signed up for this (as J keeps reminding me) but everyone needs/gets to complain sometimes right? Here is a list of things that just suck right now.
waking up in the night because I am stiff and my hips hurt
being woken up by a charlie horse they cause me to literately jump out of bed
sneezing (if you have been pregnant you know what I am talking about)
having to pee all the time including the middle of the night
not being able to run, ride a bike, or other strenuous things.
having a hard time do activities with Amber swinging her and many many other things I used to do that she likes.
no being able to sit on the floor for more than like 30 seconds without feeling completely uncomfortable.
the fun stuff that happens at the doctors office I will spare the details
all the scary stories people tell you about complications with pregnancies of people they know
you are more clumsy and your brain doesn't seem to work anymore
the ground seems so so far away when you drop things all the time because of reason listed above
people are always asking how you are feeling and how much longer you have (not something you want to think about I have to suffer all this for how much longer?)
bumping into things with your belly because you underestimate how big you really are.
I know there is more but I will spare you. I guess that I can't just list the bad because there are a few pros about being pregnant too. Such as:
you can get away with eating almost whatever you want (no alcohol, drugs...nothing I ever want to try)
feeling the little person growing and moving inside you
getting out of doing a few chores around the house because they require the use of strong chemicals (like when J got to do this)
cute things with Amber bonding with baby sister, one example: Amber will kiss my belly because she wants to kiss little sister
people are willing to help you or get out of your way more (I would move too I might take you out with my belly)
pity leg rubs
here is the very best of all when it is all over that I get a new little person to get to know and love. This is what makes it all worth it.
I don't know why in the world people say that they LOVE being pregnant. They are pretty much crazy if you ask me. I am dreading getting pregnant again! It seems all worth it though, after they are here!
@the cox family: You had a not so pleasant experience the first time around being pregnant so you have ever right to complain. I on the other hand didn't, but there are still things that aren't that fun in the end of pregnancy.
